Cancellations

We know that situations can sometimes arise causing a change to your plans. It is not possible for Jen Cushman, the instructor or Elena Lai Etcheverry and/or Charity Wings, the host, to favor an individual situation or circumstance over another, so we must maintain a standard business policy for all and with no exceptions.

Workshop spaces are sold on a first come, first served basis and have a maximum limit of 22 students – 17 with accommodations and five day passes only. The deconstructed art retreat is an intimate workshop where we invite our students to delve deep into their artistic selves to nurture and experience one’s full range of inherent creativity. We attempt to the best of our abilities to create a safe space for artistic exploration and discovery and ask our guests (students) to support a nurturing and safe environment for all involved. We ask for and support respect for self, others and our environment/living/work spaces during the entire time of the retreat.

Registration and Payment: All registrations must be made online through the Charity Wings website. Cost of the workshop ranges from $1,985 for premium rooms, double occupancy with one king bed and/or quadruple occupancy respectively to $1,785 for standard rooms, eight people and/or five people per room respectively. Day passes are $1,185 and do not include sleeping arrangements (Early Bird and Buddy Pass discount is not applicable).

A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration, and will count toward the total cost of the retreat. NOTE: There will be a wait list of students. If you are unable to come to the retreat after paying your non-refundable deposit you may be able get a partial refund if and only if all spaces are filled from the wait list and paid in full by students before the retreat.

Wait List: As this is an intimate retreat, we expect it to fill quickly.
